<span id="tkinter"></span><h1>24. Graphical User Interfaces with Tk<a class="headerlink" href="#graphical-user-interfaces-with-tk" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p id="index-0">Tk/Tcl has long been an integral part of Python.  It provides a robust and
platform independent windowing toolkit, that is available to Python programmers
using the <a class="reference internal" href="tkinter.html#module-Tkinter" title="Tkinter: Interface to Tcl/Tk for graphical user interfaces"><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">Tkinter</span></tt></a> module, and its extensions, the <a class="reference internal" href="tix.html#module-Tix" title="Tix: Tk Extension Widgets for Tkinter"><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">Tix</span></tt></a> and
the <a class="reference internal" href="ttk.html#module-ttk" title="ttk: Tk themed widget set"><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">ttk</span></tt></a> modules.</p>
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="tkinter.html#module-Tkinter" title="Tkinter: Interface to Tcl/Tk for graphical user interfaces"><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">Tkinter</span></tt></a> module is a thin object-oriented layer on top of Tcl/Tk. To
use <a class="reference internal" href="tkinter.html#module-Tkinter" title="Tkinter: Interface to Tcl/Tk for graphical user interfaces"><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">Tkinter</span></tt></a>, you don&#8217;t need to write Tcl code, but you will need to
consult the Tk documentation, and occasionally the Tcl documentation.
<a class="reference internal" href="tkinter.html#module-Tkinter" title="Tkinter: Interface to Tcl/Tk for graphical user interfaces"><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">Tkinter</span></tt></a> is a set of wrappers that implement the Tk widgets as Python
classes.  In addition, the internal module <tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">_tkinter</span></tt> provides a threadsafe
mechanism which allows Python and Tcl to interact.</p>
<p><a class="reference internal" href="tkinter.html#module-Tkinter" title="Tkinter: Interface to Tcl/Tk for graphical user interfaces"><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">Tkinter</span></tt></a>&#8216;s chief virtues are that it is fast, and that it usually comes
bundled with Python. Although its standard documentation is weak, good
material is available, which includes: references, tutorials, a book and
others. <a class="reference internal" href="tkinter.html#module-Tkinter" title="Tkinter: Interface to Tcl/Tk for graphical user interfaces"><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">Tkinter</span></tt></a> is also famous for having an outdated look and feel,
which has been vastly improved in Tk 8.5. Nevertheless, there are many other
GUI libraries that you could be interested in. For more information about
alternatives, see the <a class="reference internal" href="othergui.html#other-gui-packages"><em>Other Graphical User Interface Packages</em></a> section.</p>
